Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9004705A1] An electromagnetically driven valve controller which electromagnetically controls the valves that open and close intake and exhaust ports through which the interior of the cylinder of an engine is communicated with the exterior. When the engine is in operation so far, it is not allowed to change the timings for opening and closing the intake and exhaust valves. Therefore, the opening and closing timings have been so set that a high efficiency is obtained when the engine is operated at a predetermined number of revolutions. When the engine runs at a speed slower than the predetermined number of revolutions, however, there takes place blow-by phenomenon or prefiring phenomenon resulting in the decrease in the engine efficiency and output. Therefore, the intake and exhaust valves are opened and closed by the electromagnetic force to change the opening and closing timings depending upon the number of revolutions of the engine, thereby to prevent the blow-by phenomenon or the prefiring phenomenon from developing and to improve the efficiency and output of the engine.
